A Cartoon About Basic Mormon Doctrines

I showed this to a Mormon elder years ago and a missionary just to see their reaction. But all they wanted to talk about was a burning in their bosom and the wonders Mormonism would have in my family life. In other words, they did all they could to avoid discussing it.

Though I agree the video is a simplification, from my studies of Mormonism I think it accurately portrays true Mormon doctrines (some of which have been altered over the years to fit contemporary societal standards).

The source of this video provides references from Mormon sources to back up the origins of these doctrines below:
